Vault By Vans X SINDISO FU OG STYLE 24 NTC LX DRESS BLUES/MARSHMALLOW

Sarah Andelmen, co-founder and former creative director of prestigious Paris concept retailer, colette, is partnering with Vault by Vans to shine a spotlight on 4 artists in celebration of International Women’s Day.

Andelmen notes that she immediately thought of these specific women when the project began, having met them at various points over the years and being inspired by their creativity and passion for what they do.

Sindiso Khumalo is a fashion and textile designer who is based out of Cape Town, South Africa. Sindiso founded her eponymous label in 2015 with much of her work centered around creating sustainable clothing with an emphasis on uplifting women of color and telling the story of her African heritage. This same ethos was carried through as part of her Vault by Vans capsule collection. Using her mother who was an activist as inspiration, Sindiso incorporated illustrations on the quarter panels of the OG Style 24 NTC LX. The illustration shows the artists mother on her daughter’s wedding day seen in traditional Zulu attire. Below it is an array of traditional Zulu homesteads to depict the traditional Zulu life on a modern, contemporary sneaker.
